Success StoryTobacco GAP trainings



Tobacco GAP trainings

Author: John Fourqurean

Planning Unit: Trigg County CES

Major Program: Tobacco

Plan of Work: Crop Production

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The past several years Mclean County like most counties tobacco production has certainly declined. However there are still several tobacco producers that have now started relying on the McLean County Cooperative Extension Service to provide their yearly GAP training, due to COVID-19 restrictions many companies have quit providing these GAP trainings for their producers. The McLean County Ag Agent hosted 2 different GAP training sessions for the McLean County producers as well as a few producers from other counties. This service remains and important part of Extension's mission as companies dropped providing those GAP training opportunities, the UK AG Extension Service picked them up and ran with these new opportunities to help farmers receive this training. Bringing many producers back in to the extension office to once again rely on us for advice and educational material. Our organization picked up and provided the producers with the much needed and required training, so they could market their crop. Just another example of how the Cooperative Extension Service is a vital and integral part of every local community.
